New Ways to Get Them Talking

If your family is like most, it is hard to come up with different ways to talk around the dinner table. This idea (found at this web link) may help. Have each family member bring a small object that's important to them to the dinner table. It can be a toy, a picture, anything. Place all the objects as a centerpiece (to keep little guys from playing with them during dinner!) and let everyone take a turn sharing why they chose what they chose.
